The most beautiful parks and gardens Suva

In 1905, at the request of the governor of the time, Sir John Thurston, work began on a mound to create a botanical garden. The project manager was John Horne, the botanist of Mauritius. Rearranged and enlarged in 1913, the garden was embellished with the Clock Tower in 1918, erected in honor of the first mayor of Suva, G. J. Marks. In 1916, the garden got its official name of Thurston Garden, in honor of its founder.
